Is it a mistake to negotiate if a company gives you exactly what you asked for? I listed a salary on my application, and the hiring manager let me know that it put me in the right range compared to overqualified candidates. If they decide to match my number perfectly, would asking for another $5k be considered acting in bad faith? I'm trying to find out if I have to stick to my original number now.

You can negotiate….

Thank you again for the offer. After learning more about the role and researching market compensation for similar positions, I believe that a salary of X is the appropriate range for the responsibilities and impact of this position. I’m excited about the opportunity and would love to find a number that works well for both of us.

Not bad faith but it comes off as a bit greedy
